How to set up your domain with a website created through Weebly

You can follow this FAQ, after choosing a plan and creating your website on Weebly, in order to connect your website to your Yay.com domain.

Step 1

You’ll first need to click the publish button on the top right hand of the site, and then select ‘Use a domain you already own’.

Step 2

Weebly will then give you two options on setting up your domain. Choose the second option, to make the DNS changes yourself. Note the IP address that is given!

Step 3

You’ll then need to navigate to your Domains page on your yay.com dashboard, and edit the DNS records. From here, you simply need to add in two A records: one with ‘www’ as the host, and one with ‘@’ as the host. Both records will need to be pointed to the IP address given by Weebly.

Step 4

After completing the steps in Weebly, you will be taken to a ‘Website Published’ page. Don’t worry if you get a warning message, if you have entered the DNS records correctly the changes to your domain will take effect within 48 hours!
